11 Innovative Car Tools for the DIYer With It All

At this year's Specialty Equipment Market Association in Vegas, we awarded a dozen tools as the best and brightest. But we also found some that were innovative, if quirky. In time for the holiday season, here are the tools that even your most prolific auto-DIYer won't have—and will definitely want.

Malco Turbo Shear

Malco Turbo Shear

The Turbo shear attaches to any drill and makes cutting metal—up to 18 gauge—a breeze. The blades are set-up similar to left hand snips so it can trace tight curves in that direction. Plus the blades are replaceable if they get dull. It costs $93.

Malco Tube Bender

Malco Tube Bender

Anyone's who's tried to bend hard metal brake or fuel lines will appreciate this simple device. Simply insert the tube into this spring and use your hands to form any desired contour. The spring prevents the metal line from kinking. While any screen-door return spring will perform the same function, for $10 we'd pop for this one since the internal diameter is large enough to accommodate a wide variety of sizes.
